    It varied depending on how much light I felt was available as I didn't always use flash, and when I did use flash I used the 2nd curtain sync, backed the flash down by 1 1/3 or thereabouts.

    All shot in RAW, with either a 300f2.8/70-200f2.8 or 24-70f2.8. ISO varied between 800 and 1200.

    Great overhead shot. Love it, very different indeed. Took a double look @ your pit crew shot. Amazed really there not all wearing the fire protection gear etc, like they have to here in Aust. But a nice shot on its own. Personaly would have gone for a tigher crop & have the crew take the whole frame.

    Now on to the pit, promotion girls. Gotta have em I guess. Yes will admit even I have taken the odd shot for a few friends, & yes even have come across a couple that can pull a full sentence together & know & understand why their there. A lot dont have a clue & just stand there smile & look sexy & help there sponsors take money from the testosterone, reeved up males.

    Two girls in red nice shot, sunnies to hide there boardem probably.

    Thank you for the feedback. The option for fireproof clothing is upto the teams (I think). However, as for crop I did shoot it tighter however I prefer the big sky look of this image. Now, commercially speaking tight crops are not always welcomed, especially when you want to tell a story about (let's say) Daytona becuase the stands play an integral part of the story and of late I have decided to stop shooting so tight becuase IMO, you need to get some scenery to inform viewers as to where you are and give some relevance, otherwise you could shoot one race of the season and just use the images throughout the year.

    Believe it or not I rarely shoot "grid girls" however, just through chatting with some of them I had found them actually quite charming and from what i could gather most of the girls there are in some sort of higher education and this work helps fund that. I like to think that the images I took of these women are a little less tacky than the norm and showing a softer side. To be honest, in these times, if someone is going to smile at me, and give me a genuine smile (especially the shot of the girl in the Daytona t-shirt) I'll take it.

    And a lot less tacky than what 99% of what you actually see walking the streets of Bike Week.

    I got a couple photos of the Lockhart Phillips girls last year at Laguna and thought they were very classy in comparison.

    I say more power (and compensation) to 'em.

    Andrew,

    Great article, it's a real joy to read your column....

    Still wondering which other shots in this thread were with your 300/2.8L,
    (re: page 1 this thread / post # 6) that rear shot of Chad Reed up in the lights is my Fav.

    Also, if you don't mind me asking about your Fontana images: on both your site and on Cycleworld.com - the rear of "James Comptons GSXR1000R ex-drag chopper" is calling my name(!!) I have to see more of that - is that possible?

    Thanks for the inspiring pics & words,
    rich

    Pretty unusual to get that many crash shots in a series.

    The second bike was really a mess. Ugh.

    Moving and informative story. I agree completely about helmet use. I'm a member of the Yamaha FZ1 forum--mostly more mature riders who look down on those who don't wear proper gear. I'm surprised the "squid" attitude came from a GoldWing rider.

    With that great writing, your journalistic stock has just gone up!

    I like the 30-second girl shot the more I look at it. The whole image conveys a certain energy and tension and apprehension. I think the girl's expressive posture along with your composition have a lot to do with it.
